- NFT: The Flood - Yoshi Sodeoka
Yoshi Sodeoka's NFT series The Flood uses spiders as its subject, with two parts, The Flood: Orchestrated and The Flood: Chaos, that pair predator-prey behaviour with algorithmic generation. The series began with footage of spider behaviour transformed into looping animations and manipulated with motion graphics software. In The Flood: Orchestrated, predator-prey interactions are coded to mirror the calculated movements of spiders, while The Flood: Chaos uses the same initial parameters to produce a different result with each iteration. Both series include auditory elements meant to heighten the sense of conflict.
- NFT: Struggle for Pleasure - Harm van den Dorpel | Verse
Harm van den Dorpel's exhibition Struggle for Pleasure, shown at 4 Cromwell Place in London from 31 January to 4 February 2024, presents digital works that resist the easy nostalgic pleasure of pixel art and NFTs such as CryptoPunks. Van den Dorpel describes the collection as an attempt to make the fundamental element of digital display dialogic rather than nostalgic, drawing on the minimalist repetition of Wim Mertens and the cognitive and perceptual ideas of Monet, Seurat and the Pointillists. Unlike his earlier practice, which discarded intermediate outputs, the series keeps images from every stage of an iterative algorithm and curates them into a final selection.
- NFT: Constraint - Eric Andwer
Eric Andwer's NFT project Constraint uses generative code to express emotion, drawing on his experience with depression and his belief that life is messy. He began making generative art in 2020 after discovering Art Blocks, which he saw as a way to bring images to life that his drawing skills could not produce. The article says Eric sees creating art as a release for anger, frustration, anxiety and depression. It describes the outputs' gritty textures, drips, and colour palettes, such as bold reds and yellows for aggression or confidence and muted tones for feeling subdued.

- Security by SHL0MS
- ISO/IEC 10646
Ivan Zhyzhkevych presents ISO/IEC 10646, a series by Paul Prudence that reinterprets the grid as a fabric of encoded patterns. The works use Unicode block elements as a base material to weave nostalgic scenes from early digital culture, celebrating the grid's role in encoding universal knowledge. Prudence is a writer and artist whose essays have appeared in Reliquiae, Substance and Holo, and who regularly contributes to Neural Mag. His audio-visual work has been exhibited and performed internationally at intermedia arts festivals.

- Quasi Dragon Studies | Verse
Harvey Rayner's Quasi Dragon Studies is a 2023 exhibition by Verse Solos, presented at 4 Cromwell Place in London from 26 to 30 July 2023. Collectors mint generative "tiles" over a 500-hour window, and can combine them with the Composite Builder tool into limited Black Dragon and White Dragon composites. Only 50 Black Dragons and 5 White Dragons can be minted, and each configuration can be minted only once. Full artwork IP is given away with every tile and composite mint, allowing collectors to use their composites commercially without the artist's permission.

- Security by Shl0ms
Shl0ms, an anonymous conceptual artist, uses the SOLOS performance Security to satirize speculation in the art and crypto markets through financial instruments called "securities." The work unfolds across three acts: a beaten-up retro van disrupted the Frieze Art Fair in London, a proxy performer sold "securities" from a briefcase in Marfa, and a roaming vehicle will traverse the streets of Miami as the final physical sale before the series moves entirely to digital. The article describes the project as a critique of the scarcity-driven, perception-based value systems of the art world, and it points to the earlier Lamborghini destruction, in which a luxury car was fragmented into NFTs, as part of the same line of work.
- New Bad Image
New Bad Image is an exhibition about how online culture reshapes identity through endless circulation, and it proposes self-made mythmaking as a counter to marketing-driven meaning. The show asks what remains of authenticity and authorship when attention is what drives attention. Many of the artists, including Parker Ito, Petra Cortright, and Ann Hirsch & Maya Man, assemble found and deteriorated web imagery. The exhibition text presents losing oneself in the infinite scroll as a way to reclaim agency.

- Lore
TENDER is showing "Lore" at Untitled Art 2024, a presentation of works by seven artists that explore mythologies, cultural narratives, visual archetypes, and fictional symbology. Each artist contributes a new series made with generative algorithms and artificial intelligence. Given the fair's "East Meets West" theme, the show emphasizes contrasts and convergences between eastern and western mythologies, including western artists who examine eastern influences. The works span painterly figuration, algorithmic illustration, post photography, material collage, and minimal mathematical art.

- BURNT UMBER BROKEN SILVER AMERICAN SPIRIT | Verse
Artist Cortright's new series BURNT UMBER BROKEN SILVER AMERICAN SPIRIT, created for SOLOS, releases two works per week indefinitely and is structured as a sequence of "rooms," each marking a transition to a new series. The compositions overlay abstract shapes on American landscapes, which the artist describes as portals between states of being or consciousness, and fires alongside idyllic scenery serve as metaphors for the polarising aspects of life in America. Her palette draws on the candy-coated hues of early internet graphics, and she builds layered images in Photoshop that merge stock images, digital brush strokes and glitch effects. Her work has been acquired by MoMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art and LACMA.
- Phantasmagoria by Mazin | Verse
- Crash by RJ | Verse
- Divine Glitches, Profane Comedies | Verse
Sub Net, Estelle Flores and Ras Alhague are three artists whose new series use glitch to mix the sacred and profane, according to the article. Sub Net's three-part series The Agitprop of Metaversal Rapture adapts Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights using live capture of scenes from Active Worlds, one of the first online virtual worlds, which began in 1995. Estelle Flores's History of Me pairs urban imagery and interior monologue with glitches captured within The Sims 4. Ras Alhague's The Passion uses four glitched photogrammetric 3D models that treat images of kink alongside Christian iconography.

- Watching for the Weather: Tavess Smalley’s Fell-Cloud
Fell-Cloud is a generative NFT series by Travess Smalley, launching 16 September, in which all purchased NFTs stay locked until fog appears at the Gunnerkeld stone circle in Cumbria, England, between 2pm and 3pm CET. The works are built on the [aside] protocol, which locks NFTs until an external event occurs, and the unlock check uses the OpenWeather API through Chainlink Functions. The series comprises 36 photographs taken near Gunnerkeld on 5 November 2012, and its procedural fog draws on 12 years of local weather station data.
- The Swarm: r = θ by Yoshi Sodeoka
- The Swarm by Yoshi Sodeoka
Yoshi Sodeoka's exhibition *The Swarm*, presented by SOLOS in London on 30 August 2024, is his second show on Verse after *The Flood* in 2023, and it combines digital media to explore natural systems while blurring reality and artifice. The exhibition comprises two series, *The Swarm: r = 0* with 16 generative video works and *1.618* with 18 video works, and the structure reflects the golden ratio. The generative works run on 15-second loops segmented into 0.5-second intervals, and the use of green screens and "media offline" messages invites viewers to question the authenticity of their perceptions.

- Piezo Mint Pass by rudxane | Verse
- Piezo by rudxane | Verse
Piezo is a generative artwork by rudxane, built from a grid system that is deliberately broken apart through mirroring. Each grid block is randomly assigned line spacing, which produces a spray-like grain, and each block mirrors across the x-axis to the left, doubling its width so that blocks overlap and blend. Color palettes are generated randomly from a base of 2 to 7 colors and assigned to grid locations, a departure from the predetermined palettes rudxane often used before. The work is created in Vanilla JS and is described as related in intent to the earlier generative series "Fold."

- 10K DROP: The common trust in $ETH has found its home
The 10K Drop is a 10,000-piece NFT series, launching 24 July, by Rhea Myers in collaboration with the [aside] protocol, with every token locked at mint and unlocked only when ETH reaches $10,000. The article frames the series as a marker of shared community trust in ETH's value. It says the price condition is verified through Chainlink's ETH/USD price feed, which it describes as aggregated from many sources by independent node operators. The article also says that, once unlocked, NFTs become saleable, exchangeable, or burnable.

- nullMachines | Verse
nullMachines are generated by stitching together hand-drawn animated tiles using the wave function collapse algorithm, which repeatedly selects a grid cell, randomly picks a tile that fits its position and neighbors, and propagates the constraints until the grid is full. If a dead end is reached, the process restarts until a complete solution is found. Another component scans the machines' small built-in screens and generates their content in real time, including marquee messages and generative pixel animations rather than pre-rendered graphics.
